Do you love the idea of Free & Open Source Software, and Linux in particular? I certainly do. But until recently, I didn't think too much about what "freedom" means beyond licensing. If you're like me, this blog post could border on heartbreaking. But it may also be a call to action, not only for developers, but for the entire F/OSS community. I hope it is.

Excerpt: »Freedom is also not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves because they asked for a working login prompt. It’s not freedom if it requires you to be perfect, sighted, fluent in C, and emotionally bulletproof.«

fireborn.mataroa.blogYou Don’t Own the Word “Freedom”: A Full-Burn Response to the GNU/Linux Comment That Tried to Gatekeep Me Off My Own Machine — fireborn

All’ultimo giorno utile #Apple ha modificato le regole dell#App store per evitare nuove sanzioni #UE

Ora un sviluppatore che usa uno #store esterno deve comunque pagare il 5% di commissioni ad A, e in cambio viene penalizzato sull’App store

Per non essere penalizzati si deve usare solo l’App store e pagare il 30% di commissioni

È sempre #gatekeeping, e infatti la decisione è già stata contestata, quindi ora spettiamo le valutazioni della Commissione #EU

I woke up to a comment so smug, so perfectly soaked in gatekeeping and faux-righteous posturing, it earned its own blog post.
You want freedom? You want GNU/Linux to mean something?
Then maybe start by not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves with a smile.
This commenter thought they were defending "software freedom." What they were really doing was kicking people out of the room. Dismissing accessibility. Mocking effort. Pretending that cruelty is some kind of rite of passage. They quoted Stallman like it was scripture, ignored real-world experience like it was noise, and wrapped it all in condescension dressed as virtue.
I’ve spent over a decade in this ecosystem. Writing patches. Rebuilding broken stacks. Helping blind users boot systems upstream doesn’t even test. I didn’t "just install Arch and whine about the terminal." I lived in it. I survived it. I held it together when maintainers disappeared and no one else gave a damn.
But apparently, because I didn’t call it GNU/Linux™ and because I dared to talk about how this OS chews people up and spits them out, I’m lazy. I’m weak. I should "get a dog."
So I wrote a response. Line by line. No mercy. No euphemisms.
This isn’t just about one comment. This is about every time someone’s been told they don’t belong because they couldn’t learn fast enough, code well enough, or survive long enough. It’s about everyone who was pushed out while the gatekeepers patted themselves on the back for "preserving the spirit of free software."
You want a free system? Start by making it livable. Because freedom that demands you crawl bleeding through a broken bootloader isn’t freedom. It’s abandonment dressed in ideology.
And if this kind of gatekeeping is your idea of community?
You can keep it.

"Trump is now their proxy at a grand scale."

#Deporting people is like Blocking people on social media. The PROXY is the smartphone device. The button pushing of a voting booth is only a few presses every 4 years. The BLOCK button, unsubscribe, avoid button, gated community #Gatekeeping is daily

A few things today made me think about #gatekeeping in #academia: who gets to publish and who doesn't; who gets funding and who doesn't.

It's a problem, and as such (unsurprising), there is (depressing) #research about it!
Once we acknowledge there is a problem, maybe we can do something about it. Although sometimes I think that for some people, it's a feature, not a bug.

"But using the feature comes with fees so steep that it’s hard to imagine any developer using it. Once a developer adds external links, Apple places a new “store services fee” on the sale of digital goods and services that occur within one year of the date the user installs the app — on any platform, even if the user never actually clicks the external link."
